Exactly a week ago I wast at the Grammy Awards 2015 Ceremony with my talented friend and nominee Emilio Solla y La Inestable de Brooklyn. By the way, nominated for Best Latin Jazz Album of the Year “Second Half”.

Now back in NY I am still trying to get around the idea of being there and seeing live all these incredible artists, musicians, engineers, composers and creative people from all different fields, all together in this celebration of music.

Here some of the best performances that I had the pleasure to experience from very very very close.

Enjoy…

Madonna

Katy Perry – Against Domestic Violence

Paul McCartney, Rihanna, Kanye West

The Happy Pharrell Williams

Sia- Chandelier

Hozier – Annie Lennox ( I did not know she would be there…beautiful surprise)

I had the pleasure and honor to travel this past month to South East Asia. I could tell endless stories about their people, the delicious food, the stunning architecture, their transportation, the way they live, feel and think.

But I usually express my self better through images so I will leave you with few that I found on my way..

Exhibiting freely in the streets of the world, JR catches the attention of people who are not typical museum visitors.

JR will share his Art Series installation during three special performance evenings — January 23, February 7, 13 — when every seat in the house is available for just $29. On these evenings, every audience member will receive a takeaway created specifically for this event.

“‘Walls of Freedom’ is a powerful portrayal of the Egyptian Revolution, telling the story with striking images of art that turned Egypt’s walls into a visual testimony of bravery and resistance. It takes a closer look at the most influential artists who have made their iconic marks on the streets. This survey of Egyptian street art is also enriched by images of the revolution taken by acclaimed photographers and activists. Spanning major Egyptian cities like Cairo, Alexandria and Luxor it is a day-to-day reflection of the volatile and fast-shifting political situation. With contributions by experts in many fields, ‘Walls of Freedom’ not only places the graffiti of the revolution in a broader context, it also examines the historical, socio-political and cultural backgrounds which have shaped the movement”.
